Thanks for the info. I have had recent problems with AA ticketing my tickets in the UK (said they wont send them to us unless i pay the USA fare, then the US AA would send them). I am leaving out of LHR and hoping CX will be able to work with me to either pay over the phone and pick up tickets while i'm in the UK a few days before my first flight or be able to send the tickets to me in the US.
I want to try to avoid a TA in UK due to the booking fee or 75 pounds each and surcharges of 2%. These additional fees add up for 2 people, trying to avoid!
Any other advice is welcomed!
Thanks again for everyones help
